Weird Telly Shows from the Past

[Mikey]

Been sat all night on youtube looking at some of the odd shit that used to be on the telly.

Time Commanders. A bunch of Nigels reenact battles using what looks like the game Rome: Total War and usually fail miserably

X-Fire. A different kind of Nigel's act like they're in the SAS, trying and usually failing miserably to beat a bunch of ex-squaddies at paintball.

Fash FC. John Fashanu managing a Sunday league team

Fucking loved Time Commanders.

[Snake Plissken]

It obviously looks dated now but Rome: Total War was revolutionary at the time. The jump from 2D sprites to 3D models

There was another series that used the RTW engine called Decisive Battles, not a bad wee series. I think all of the episodes are on Youtube.

Never heard of that. Will need to look it up.

Should be the first result that comes up.

The presenter can't pronounce a lot of the names and places but they get a few historians on and use the RTW soundtrack in the background

I loved Time Commanders, they were always so shit 

[Currahee!]

The singing ringing tree.

Fucking horrible sinister shit. For children?

[Big Physical Acey]

Time Commanders was class

[Cheeky Gnando’s]

Big fan of Time Commanders as well, as any good Rome TW fanboy would be.

The Battle of Watling Street one where they abandon the high ground and spread their forces into wee pockets, then go into testudo

[Nive la France]

Deadliest Warrior was fucking brilliant

[Steven Toast]

William Wallace vs Shaka Zulu.

[Del-icious]

How good was scrapheap challenge as well

[Kashinda]

Dick and Dom in da Bungalow was mental. 

The pants dance

[Cheeky Gnando’s]

Deadliest Warrior

I mind one summer holidays I stayed up all night watching the entire series because I just couldn't stop Was always disappointing when the episode was a modern fighter. Your pirate vs knight, Attila the Hun vs Alexander the Great ones were the business

Fash FC was tremendous like.

All of them are on youtube. It was meant to be a bunch of the best Sunday League players in London or something and they were going to win this amateur league and go on winning everything. They finished about 15th and then had a penalty shootout to decide the player of the season. The goalie won it

Big Fash used to forgo training for taking them zip-lining and that and basically going one short of reenacting the Battle of the Somme.
